This bill will help achieve a long-standing Neo-Kantian policy point: alleviating the Atlasian housing crisis through Swift and decisive action.

You should vote for this bill or else neo-Kantians will come into your bedroom at night and break your clavicles.

It's great to see that funding I requested to support Lincoln residents and dollar store businesses has been included in the bill. This is the difference having an authentic Senator from the region and not parachuted in makes.

It's great to see that funding I requested to support Lincoln residents and dollar store businesses has been included in the bill. This is the difference having an authentic Senator from the region and not parachuted in makes.

Indeed. I, for one, am pleased to see investments for transportation infrastructure in my native Oregon.

This bill isn’t just dumb corporate welfare including earmarks to a few states at the expense of everyone else, but it’s dumb corporate welfare including unconstitutional bills of attainder. This should not have been brought to the floor, and I have lost all confidence in the PPT by him bringing this to the floor.

Yeah, assuming in good faith that this is an attempt to solve anything housing-related when we just had a perfectly reasonable bill addressing that very issue on the floor, surely it could have been done without the dozens of provisions for unrelated issues. Not to mention the provisions that unconstitutionally target specific people or other entities.

It's great to see that funding I requested to support Lincoln residents and dollar store businesses has been included in the bill. This is the difference having an authentic Senator from the region and not parachuted in makes.

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn’t your predecessor Pericles?
